Long live the glorious French Revolution!
"Human existence being an hallucination containing in itself the secondary hallucinations of day and night (the latter an insanitary condition of the atmosphere due to accretions of black air) it ill becomes any man of sense to be concerned at the illusory approach of the supreme hallucination known as death."

There sure are a lot of Rush fans in France.  I didn't know that song was so popular.   =D

You know, we still favor a line from that movie...  "I'm shocked, shocked, I tell you."

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Hawkmoon just used another catchphrase from "Casa Blanca."

"'Naturally, TUS (the usual suspects) have started..."

Forgot about that one.
